shaghl behtar hai ishq-baazi kaa — Wali Dakni

tujh lab ki sifat laal-e-badakhshaan suun kahungaa
jaadu hain tire nain ghazaalaan suun kahungaa

raah-e-mazmun-e-taaza band nahin
taa qayaamat khulaa hai baab-e-sukhan

har zarra us ki chashm mein labrez-e-nur hai
dekhaa hai jis ne husn-e-tajalli bahaar kaa

chaahtaa hai is jahaan mein gar bahisht
jaa tamaashaa dekh us rukhsaar kaa

rashk suun tujh labaan ki surkhi par
jigar-e-laala daagh daagh huaa

jise ishq kaa tiir kaari lage
use zindagi kyuun na bhaari lage

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

khaak seti sajan uThaa ke kiyaa
ishq tere ne sar-buland mujhe

yak-ba-yak tark na karnaa thaa mohabbat mujh se
khair jis tarah se aataa thaa vo aataa jaataa

kaamyaabi ki duaaein mujhe dene vaale
main tire ishq mein naakaam huaa jaataa huun

adaavaton mein jo khalq-e-khudaa lagi hui hai
mohabbaton ko koi bad-duaa lagi hui hai
